The first thing you remember
Most adults remember little about things that happened is their very early childhood. __76__, some people think that we aren’t really able to form memories before our fourth or fifth birthdays. But scientists carrying out research into early memories have suggested that this is not true. They say that we do form memories at a very young age. However , what we remember about our every early lives seems to change as we __77__.
Researchers in Canada worked with 140 children aged between four and thirteen. First, they asked their participants to describe their earliest memories. Then they asked them roughly how old they』d been when the event happened. Next, they asked the kids』 parents to make sure that the event actually happened. And all the __78__ were written down. The researchers waited for two years before they went back to the children and asked them again, 「What’s your earliest memory?』
Nearly all the children who were aged between four and seven in the first interview said something very different in the second interview. And when the researchers reminded them of what they』d said the first time, many of the children said, 『No, that never happened to me.』 However, many of the children who were between ten and thirteen at the first interview described exactly the __79__ memory in the second interview. This seems to suggest that our memories change in the early years, but that at around the age of ten, the things that we remember get fixed（固定的）
The researchers are now looking into the question of why children remember certain events and not others. We sometimes think that most first or early memories are about every stressful things that happened to us as children, because bad things stand out in our minds. But in this study, stressful events were only a small percentage of what the children said they remembered. More often, their early memories were happy ones. The researchers are trying to work out why this is the case. We expect the researchers will __80__ more fascinating things about memories in the near future.
75. A. ran forward B. sold out C. broke down D. sped up
76. A. As a result B. What’s more C. For the time being D. In fact
77. A. are pleased B. build confidence C. feel tired D. get older
78. A. forecasts B. answers C. reviews D. orders
79. A. unforgettable B. sweet C. same D. short
80. A. imagine B. require C. control D. discover
C. Fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格內填入適當的詞，使其內容通順，每空格限填一詞，首字母已給）
I don’t believe it! It’s 11 p.m. and I’m still sitting here writing this article for the school magazine! I』ve had two weeks to write it and my teacher wants it tomorrow. She’s always c__81__ that I leave things to the last minute. Maybe she’s right. A month ago, I made up my mind to be more efficient this year and not to leave things to the last minute. But I』ve failed. I』ve also been trying to get fitter for four weeks now. I』ve started going to the gym. I』ve taken up karate lessons and I』ve changed my diet. I』ve even been going to bed earlier. But I’m not feeling any fitter. I felt just a little u__82__. I miss my bad habits. Why is leading a better life so hard?
I』ve just read an article on a website and I』ve found out that it isn’t my fault! In fact, it isn’t anyone’s fault! It’s our brains. They’re programmed, therefore, it is difficult to break bad habits. There’s nothing we can do. Scientists have done experiments that show we use one part of our brain when we think about o__83__ and other when we think about other people. However, when we think about the 『future us』, we use the part of the brain that we usually use to think about other people. In other words, the brain sees the 『future you』 as a different person to your 『present you』. And that’s why we don’t always find it easy to make different person to your 『present you』. And that’s why we don’t always find it easy to make sensible d__84__ in the future when we face difficulties.
But that’s not all. Scientists have also found out that it takes around ten weeks to form a good habit. For example, if I want to keep fit, It’s going to take me ten weeks to go to the gym and then it will become an automatic part of my life. That’s because ten weeks is the amount of time the brain needs to change and a__85__ new ways of behaviour as a part of everyday life. The good news is that once you make it to ten weeks, everything becomes much easier. The bad news is that ten weeks is a really long time, so it’s easy to give up on（打消）your good plan s__86__.
So there you are. Maybe we want to change our ways and become better people but our brains won’t let us. Or is this just an e__87__? Look! I』ve finished my article on time. Anything is possible!
D. Answer the questions（根據以下內容回答問題）
There was once a boy who was afraid of the dark. He thought that his bedroom was filled up with monsters when it was dark. But there came a time when he was too old to be allowed to keep sleeping with the light on.
